I got texts nice and early from Jacob and Adam wishing me Happy Birthday. Jacob sent balloons going up with his, and Adam sent fireworks. They have to teach me how to do that. Vikki called me and her and the kids sang Happy Birthday to me. She came over and brought the kids. Kimmy called me and wished me happy birthday. She said she was going to try to come spend some time during the day with me, then come back with the rest of the family tonight. We hung up, so I could open the present Vikki, Peyton and Issac made for me. It was a beautiful Bird nest making ball. What a great idea and so cute. I would have hung it out right away except we were having 50 mph wind gusts and didn't want it to get ruined. It's going out right away tomorrow morning though. Peyton helped me hull the strawberries. Vikki went to work, then Bill got home and walked in with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me and a very sweet card. It had an Outback gift card in it! Melissa face timed me and she and the boys sang Happy Birthday to me. Kimmy came over and she, Peyton, Isaac and I played 3-13. They were not letting me win on my birthday either. Kenzie and Travis came, so we quit our game. I got nice birthday greetings from them. We visited with them. Kenzie and Peyton made my other birthday cake. Kimmy had to leave at 2:15 to go get the boys. Vikki came back and she and Kenzie wanted me to open their gifts really bad. Vikki and family got me a really good eyeliner, and eyebrow pencil, a smart bulb so now I can have my light as bright or dim as I want it, and a wonderful magnet for my dishwasher...one side says dirty and the other says clean! I have been sticking a paper on it when the dishes are clean. This is going to make it so easy now. I have a husband who has stuck dirty dishes in when the dishes are clean. Thank you so much Vikki, Rody, Peyton and Isaac. I opened Kenzie and Travis's next. They gave me a beautiful flower pendant Kenzie made, a thumb kin pendant, a beautiful tube that I will be able to hang and start Christmas Cactus cuttings, etc in, and Kenzie painted me a beautiful wall hanging for the redecorated bedroom. Thank you so much Kenzie and Travis. Vikki and Kenzie went to get the Lazy Boy Vikki is giving them, and did some other errands. Bill and I talked to Travis a long time. He has a heart for the Lord. My most wonderful birthday gift was Travis prayed with us and asked Jesus into his heart. He shared so many things that just blessed my heart and made me thankful for God bringing him and Kenzie together. Kenzie and Vikki got back and Bill and Travis, went and picked up a washer/dryer combo machine. Bill talked the lady way down and it is brand new. She got it, then had to move and couldn't take it with her so was new. Kimmy, Jared and the boys came. I got wonderful Birthday greetings from them too. Rody came next and we all visited until Bill and Travis got back. Rody was wearing a great looking sweatshirt he got in the SWAG store at church. We ate Sloppy Joes and chips. Some had subs. We visited some more and then had cake and ice cream. Then I opened the amazing and beautiful tumblers Kimmy and Jared made for me.
Thank you all so much! Last, I opened the chandelier I told Bill I really liked at Menard's. What a nice surprise. I am excited to see it once it is hanging up. Thank you sweetie! After everyone left, Stacie and Kody called and sang Happy Birthday to me. What a sweet, precious, wonderful family I have. I talked to Vikki, Kenzie and Melissa each again too. I got a very nice birthday comment on Facebook from Lela and Stella today too. It made me smile! What a great day!
